Sure we're taking it in the wallet to the tune of $4 per gallon at the pump, but now Lucky Lou� … (Read More)

White History Month – The Gap

Erik Guzman March 11th, 2008

Americans have recognized black history annually since 1926, first as Negro History Week and later as Black History Month. Since then, February has marked the beginning of this yearly celebration.

However, it wasn't until March of 2007 that the whites joined the party with White History Month.
